[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 5564055, member: 12952"] This gives a new meaning to "brother can you spare a dime". [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11972949/Bizarre-Philadelphia-theft-sees-million-DIMES-worth-100-000-stolen-truck.html[/URL] There was $750,000 worth of dimes in the truck which were picked up from the US Mint located in the old city in Philadelphia Wednesday and were supposed to be delivered to Florida. The driver drove north east of the city where he lives and left the trailer in the car park overnight to go home and get some rest, according to police. But a million dimes were stolen and thousands sprawled across the parking lot floor by the time driver returned. It took a crew hours to clean up the mess left by the thief as they scrambled to get away. Authorities do not believe the driver was targeted but said the circumstances surrounding this incident are bizarre. They say it is 'common practice' for drivers to pick up loads and park their trucks overnight to get on the road in the morning. [/QUOTE]
